Installation What happens when my notebook goes into standby or 1 hibernate mode? If the notebook goes into standby or hibernate mode, and the 2 Docking Station is connected to a notebook and an external monitor, the external monitor display goes blank. 3 Closing the lid of your notebook while using your Docking Station may cause your computer to enter these modes and disable your external monitor. To avoid this problem, Belkin 4 has created an application that overrides a lid-activated hibernation mode while your computer is attached to the Docking Station. We highly recommend installing this 5 application when you run the installation. However, if you did not install this driver at initial installation, you can do so at any 6 time by repeating the driver-install process and selecting the application at the appropriate point. If your notebook goes into hibernate mode, the external monitor display keeps the same settings it had before the notebook went into hibernate mode when the notebook returns to an active state. However, if the external monitor is set for Extended Mode, windows that were previously visible on the external monitor will not move back to that secondary monitor. In addition, if the external monitor is in Extended Mode and the notebook requires a login after standby or hibernate mode, the login screen appears on the primary notebook monitor, not the external monitor. 14

What happens when my notebook goes into standby or
hibernate mode?
If the notebook goes into standby or hibernate mode, and the
Docking Station is connected to a notebook and an external
monitor, the external monitor display goes blank.
Closing the lid of your notebook while using your Docking
Station may cause your computer to enter these modes and
disable your external monitor. To avoid this problem, Belkin
has created an application that overrides a lid-activated
hibernation mode while your computer is attached to the
Docking Station. We highly recommend installing this
application when you run the installation. However, if you did
not install this driver at initial installation, you can do so at any
time by repeating the driver-install process and selecting the
application at the appropriate point.
If your notebook goes into hibernate mode, the external
monitor display keeps the same settings it had before the
notebook went into hibernate mode when the notebook
returns to an active state. However, if the external monitor is
set for Extended Mode, windows that were previously visible
on the external monitor will not move back to that secondary
monitor. In addition, if the external monitor is in Extended
Mode and the notebook requires a login after standby or
hibernate mode, the login screen appears on the primary
notebook monitor, not the external monitor.
